that was ronald reagan as president. we did it democratic votes. danny rostenkowski was chairman of ways and means. he wasn't going to come with a bill that wasn't very pro-democrat. so the question was whether he would sign on to that bill, pass it in the house and try to fix it in the republican senate? our republican house members came to us and said, if you try and do that, we're going to roll you. dick cheney, trent lott, all, they came down to my office at the treasury department. they said, if you go forward with this, with this rostenkowski bill, and we then say you're going to fix it in the senate, we're going to roll you and they rolled us on the rule. they defeated us on the rule and i went over to the white house, having been reagan's chief of staff for 4 1/2 years. and i said, mr. president, you have to come out forcefully in favor of passing the rostenkowski bill so we can get to it to the senate and fix it and that means rolling out of our house republicans. well, guess what. afterwards, he did it. he did it. and we did it. and that'

>> a good model for him would be bill clinton's inaugural address, or ronald reagan's second inaugural. both of those were similar kinds of political environments. congress was in the hands of the other party. or one house was, at least. and each of them was very gracious towards the other party. reached out, said things about the goodwill of the other party. >> the difference there is reagan could look back and talk about how the republicans worked with democrats to fix social security, bill clinton could look back and talk about the deficit reduction plan. other things they had done a little bit together. it's harder for president obama to do that because there's been so much polarization. >> polarization has been on both sides. it would be a good step for the president, i actually don't expect him to take it. to try to put that behind, to have at least a rhetorical frame for being more enveloping. obviously in the last few days, last week or so, he hasn't taken that tact. he's, he had his press conference about a week ago. he's had some, they've floated some stories about how they'r
